The Barossa is famous for wines, but did you know it was once a notable goldfield too' You do not need a pan to strike it rich now: this 1870s miner's cottage is a true gem. Immerse yourself in the charm of whitewashed walls; a roaring wood fire; and a bedroom with crisp, white linen that just begs for long, lazy lie-ins.
The first surprise is the stunning, French provincial style bathroom. For those who love a cottage but dread the spartan washroom, this will come as a great relief. Gorgeous stone tiles and a deep soaking tub give this cottage a flamboyant style worthy of a five-star hotel. The next surprise is the setting and what lies beyond. Step out the back door onto an elevated patio (this is where you will dine as the sun sets), with views over sweeping lawns and the Yettie Creek billabong to an in-ground, Mediterranean style pool. Kangaroos lope past and cockatoos dart from ancient 
gums to giant willows in a scene of rural bliss.
From here, explore all the wine regions or use the Cottage as a base to visit Adelaide: this is a bushland haven in a very central spot. Yet chances are you will not move an inch from this perfect blend of history and style.
